ABSTRACT 

Automation Industry Association  is India’s apex automation industry body, with nearly 40 high tech automation companies. The technologies AIA represent encompass electrical automation, mechanical automation, continuous and batch process automation, robotics, machine vision, assembly and material handling systems, sensors, controllers, actuators, communication devices, HMI, real-time software, simulation, training, and a host of interface and supporting sub-systems.   


ABOUT AIA INDIA  

India is gaining recognition as one of the fastest growing economies in the world and industry will play a vital role in achieving our macro ambitions of 7-8% GDP growth. Indian Industry is presently in growth mode as existing capacities get augmented & modernized and new capacities come onstream. 
At the same time, global aspirations are bringing focus to critical aspects such as productivity, efficiency, quality etc. and automation technologies have a key role to play here. 
It is encouraging to see a positive trend, whereby Indian industry is becoming increasingly mindful of this, though we still have a long way to go in order to attain world standards. In this journey, the Automation solution providers look forward to partnering industry in an era of collaborative commerce as we work together in helping India realize its true potential. 
AIA is committed to be a vibrant forum for all automation companies in India spreading knowledge and creating awareness levels that make a vital difference to the global competitiveness of Indian industry 
AIA has pioneered the vendor-neutral approach in spreading knowledge and creating awareness on Global standards and practices. The Automation Centres of Excellence established at IIT Madras and Apollo Knowledge Institute, Vadodara were incubated with the support of AIA.   


Skills in Automation   













The ultimate objective of training PEOPLE in advanced technologies is to make them competent in solving operational issues and contribute to the superior performance and real- time management of plant, machinery and associated resources.   


Industry Connect    




‘Digital India’ aims to leverage cyberspace and mobile connectivity with Information Technologies 
‘Make in India’ aims to leverage shop floor brilliance and machine connectivity with Operations Technologies Industrial Automation is the glue that binds IT and OT together using real-time sensing and controls.
AUTOMATION INDIA will facilitate individuals wanting to pursue automation challenges, ideas and solutions.   



VESIT – AIA


Students Presenting in VESIT-AIA Lab 


 'Basic Automation Course'  has been conducted in VESIT-AIA Competency Development 
Center  as a part of CAMPUS CONNECT INITIATIVE. 
This add on course gives more weightage to hands on training on the various kits specially made for this purpose as, 

 1. Sensors (P&F):  

 A variety of sensors, encoders and counters are available on this kit for practical understanding and experimentation. 

 2. Pneumatics (Festo): 

 It incorporates actuators like single acting and double acting cylinder, control valves like quick exhaust, 5/2 way pneumatic actuated valves, time delay, shuttle and dual pressure. 

 3.  Controls and Visualization (Siemens):  

 This kit combines controller hardware with a Human Machine Interface panel. Here, physical signals can be connected via relays or directly on I/O cards. 

 4.  Motion Control (B & R Automation): 

 This kit is designed keeping in view a holistic approach to Generic Motion Control. It is self-contained with several advanced components like master controller with HMI, servo drive, stepper drive. 

 5.  Integrated Stand-I and II: 

 These stands are to impart an effective hands-on experience in the design and execution of comprehensive automation solutions. It includes input devices, control devices, actuator and visualization devices on a single platform.    


FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS 

✓ To increase knowledge and awareness levels about the role of Automation & its value proposition 
✓ To help Indian Industry leverage cutting-edge automation technologies and be globally competitive
✓ To enhance Top Management Sensitivity to benefits of Integrated Automation 
✓ To support Safety & Compliance standards in Manufacturing 
✓ To attract job aspiring community to careers in Automation  


CONCLUSION  

India’s challenges are unique and not only technological. They are about linking the silos of excellence, adopting systems for shared working, caring for last mile completion and igniting the passion of shop floor careers! 
The solutions, hence, need to be unique and local, that will have to push the envelope of creativity, innovation and frugal engineering. Automation industry surely recognizes this moment of partnership and opportunity to build a strong foundation.

Mind-Blowing Medical Advances

3D printed body parts Driverless cars, artificial intelligence, smart watches – the future is truly upon us. With science and technology developing so quickly, medical breakthroughs continue to be made every day around the world. But what are some of the most profound advancements in recent years and how can they change the way we treat medical conditions? Here is one of the amazing advancement in medical science that has blown my mind completely. 3D printing is widely regarded as being industry-changing technology when it comes to consumer goods and manufacturing. But what’s not widely known is that scientists have successfully created human body parts using 3D printers. The team at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre developed a new technique that 3D-prints a tissue riddled with micro-channels, rather like a sponge, to allow nutrients to penetrate the tissue. The Integrated Tissue and Organ Printing System - or Itop - combines a bio-degradeable plastic which gives the struc...

Medical Imaging Techniques

Image
Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues ( physiology ). PET Scan ( Positron Emission Tomography Scan) A PET scan creates 3D images of the body, it does so by using Radioactive tracers which are administered to a patient through intravenous injection. The tracers are made up of molecules that are tightly bonded to radioactive atom called an isotope.   These carrier molecule interact with the specific proteins or sugars inside patient’s body. The carrier molecules that will be used totally depend on what the doctor is looking for. If she suspects growth of cancer tissue, she may use FDG , a modified form of glucose. When tissues absorb a lot of glucose, it may indicate a growth of cancerous tumour. The isotope produces small partic...

The Morning After I Killed Myself… The morning after I killed myself, I woke up. I made myself  breakfast and opened fridge for the milk. I washed the dishes and folded the towels. I stared into the rising sun. Bright streaks of red, pink and orange slowly overcame the dark blue and purple of the twilight sky…The sky resembled a prism, all the colors blended perfectly into each other !  It was mesmerizing as it is inviting me to stare deep into the horizon… The morning after I killed myself, I fell in love.  I fell in love with my mom and the way she keeps on cleaning, cooking and doing chores whenever she has the time and strength to do so. It surely isn’t a cake walk to cook my favourite dishes, neaten the linens, keep up with her schedule and manage ours too! And do all of this again the upcoming day and the day following it and on and on! No holidays, no stipend, no raise… just a sincere affection ! I fell in love with my dad. The way he manage...
